This is a little tampon I created upon finding that there were no existing patterns for them on Ravelry! I’m making it to raise awareness of period poverty, and while this pattern is available for free, please consider donating to help with period poverty if you use it. There are many charities that will accept donations towards that so you can find one in your local area, or head here: https://www.actionaid.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do/womens-e...

Please note: this pattern is only for personal use or charity sales.

This is a written pattern, worked on DPNs. I used worsted weight yarn in red and cream, and 4mm DPNs, for a fairly life-size tampon, but any size needles and yarn that give a tight gauge will work fine. Go wild and make a tampon pillow if you fancy!

Please note this should not be used as an actual tampon! Decoration only
